Portland Metropolitan Area and ODOT Region 1The Portland metropolitan region elected not to establish an ACT for the urban portion of Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties that is governed by Metro. Instead, ODOT works with the Metro Council and the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT), a body of elected officials and transportation agency representatives, to coordinate transportation project planning and prioritizing through the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and funding priorities through the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP).

Outside Metro's boundaries, ODOT works with various county coordinating committees to coordinate transportation project planning and construction.
